I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that’s nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that’s more than I pay annually in rent. And that’s why I’m like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn’t afford her apartment either.

Something old, something new.

2005, Ojai Vineyards, Sta. Rita Hills, Clos Pepe, Pinot Noir.

Sold by golden boy, Teddy Bin Bin (aka Ted Vance), who can resist his new grizzly bear look?

We drank this next to the D'Auvenay, which was an interesting juxtaposition. Old World vs. the New World. The wine was cherrylicious, had great texture with moderate tannins and was even a little minty and herbaceous.
